Fred Meyer: Upcoming rewards offer

I might be too late posting this info, but I got the inside scoop from a Fred Meyer employee that Fred Meyer Rewards customers who have signed up to receive promotional emails from Fred Meyer will be emailed a special coupon tomorrow (10/15) that can be redeemed for triple points during October 17-23, which is the Anniversary sale.

Yippee got mine this morning and will be putting it to good use.
At the bottom of the Triple Rewards Points coupon it states “Please give this coupon back to the Customer.” So I’m assuming you can use it all week long, but need to scan it each time with your Rewards card. Anyone know if this is the case?
Also there is a coupon to enter to win 1 of 10 Vespa S 50s. I’m not sure exactly what that is but I’ll be entering for my chance to win. :~)

Yes, Christa. It can be reused with your reward card all week long (my husband is a cashier at FM). A Vespa is a motorized scooter, so you can toodle over to Freddy’s and spend your hard-earned rewards points! Good luck and have fun at the anniversary sale!

This is a great email to be signed up for besides the triple points. I get extra coupons at least once a month. Last week it was a bonus 20% coupon for Housewares and Bedding/Bath that COULD be combined with the 10% Home coupon in the ad. I’ve gotten 500 reward points coupons a few times. Also, if you haven’t heard, FM has teamed up with Shell for gas discounts. 100 points gets you 10 cents off per gallon at participating Shell locations. Most Portland area ones are participating. However, if you don’t see the obvious advertisements I’ve seen at several locations, I would ask first.

Christa & Brandi – this is a little bit of a gray area based on my own experience. I specifically asked Kroger Corporate about this when the e-coupons first came out. This was the email response I received: “Thank you for contacting the Kroger Digital Coupons Help Center. Digital Coupons can be used in addition to a manufacturer’s coupon. *Note: Most offers are available for loading one time per card and are not eligible to be reloaded after redemption.” Now….. personally, I have never had a problem with stacking both e-coupons and manufacturer coupons (and I do this frequently). The only time it has not worked is when the item was clearance priced. And, unlike Safeway, if you have two of the same e-coupon, only one will be deducted. Now, I have noticed that if you look at the “more information” link on each e-coupon, it does state that it cannot be combined with a printed coupon; whether this is just a hackneyed piece of legalize or the true intent, I cannot say – especially given my conversation with Kroger. Nevertheless, the fact is, stacking does not generate any errant beep at the register. Basically, the messages are muddy, but the practice is clearly allowed.
